Initial GUI layout done with
Glade -- full working GUI
only took a few hours. I highly recommend this GUI
builder.

Here is another snapshot of gcomm with the serial port
"more detail" panel open and the file transfer panel open:

History

The original version of gcomm was written years ago
using an X toolkit which I wrote myself. I finally decided that
writing your own toolkit is a dead-end proposition and abandoned
the project, along with the apps I had written that used it.

When I decided to learn GTK, I chose to rewrite gcomm as my
my first program. I am very happy with the results, and the
finished program is available on the
gcomm
project page.
